UN Committee Calls For the Release of PU Student in Iran
The United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention has called for the immediate release of Princeton graduate student Xiyue Wang, who has been imprisoned in Iran for more than two years. The Working Group has concluded that the government of Iran had “no legal basis for the arrest and detention” of the 37-year-old history scholar, that Iran committed “multiple violations” of his right to a fair trial, and that his “deprivation of liberty is arbitrary.” Responding to a petition filed earlier this year by Wang’s wife Hua Qu and his mother, the Working Group’s report, adopted on August 23, states, “The Working Group requests the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran to take the steps necessary to remedy the situation of Mr. Wang without delay and bring it into conformity with the relevant international norms.” It goes on to assert that the appropriate remedy would be to release Wang immediately. A naturalized American citizen and fourth-year graduate student, Wang was in Iran in 2016 to study Farsi and conduct research for his doctoral dissertation, reviewing documents dating from the late 19th and early 20th centuries in Iran’s National Archives. He was arrested in August 2016, confined in Tehran’s Evin Prison, convicted in a non-public trial on two counts of espionage, and sentenced to 10 years in prison. The Working Group, which expressed grave concerns about Wang’s health and about the conditions in which he is being held, concluded that Wang was peacefully exercising his right to seek and receive information for academic purposes; that Iran’s espionage laws are vague and overly broad; that no trial of Wang should have taken place; that the Revolutionary Courts that tried Wang and heard his appeal “do not meet the standards of an

Schools Face Resistance to Referendum Plans
The conflict seems to intensify as postponement of the Princeton Board of Education (BOE) vote on Princeton Public Schools’ (PPS) proposed $129.6M bond issue, and consequent postponement of the ballot issue until after the November 6 general election, gives both sides the opportunity to develop and clarify their cases. Last week, shortly before its Tuesday night meeting at which it was planning to vote to place the referendum on the November ballot, the BOE was informed that due to a backlog the New Jersey Department of Education (DOE) was still reviewing the district’s plans and that the referendum would have to be postponed until after the November ballot. “The NJDOE has assured us that approvals are forthcoming,” said PPS Superintendent Steve Cochrane. “The Board is taking advantage of this opportunity to continue thoughtful dialogue with the public and to chart a path forward that serves our students and is sustainable for our community.” He continued, “We look forward to communicating more with the community and want to make them aware of the following opportunities for engagement: Saturday, September 22 at 10 a.m. in the High School Cafeteria; Saturday, September 29 at 9:30 a.m. at the Witherspoon Presbyterian Church; and Thursday, October
11 at 7:30 p.m. in the John Witherspoon Auditorium.” Although the referendum ballot question was removed from last Tuesday’s BOE agenda, a sizable crowd arrived to talk about the referendum, with some 32 speakers asking the BOE to reconsider the project. A petition with 140 signatures, detailing concerns about the referendum plan, was handed to the BOE, and about 30 more residents have signed in the past week. Drafted by a small group in opposition to placing the referendum in its current form on a ballot, the petition included many of the questions and arguments that have been raised at various forums, in the me-
dia, and in a variety of discussions over the past months. The petition charges the BOE with failing to answer questions about “flaws in the demographic study…which wrongly predict higher enrollments than would be supported by a correct study”; lack of information on operations costs of the proposed work, including the new 5/6 school; the full impact of the referendum bill on individual tax bills; additional details on the high school renovation; specific costs associated with artificial turf fields; and information about the proposed work to be done at the Thanet property, including anticipated income and expenses for Continued on Page 7
Another Lawsuit Filed Naming Rider, Others in Westminster Sale
A new lawsuit has been filed by opponents of Rider University’s proposed sale of Westminster Choir College to a company they say is owned by the government of China and threatens the music school’s academic freedom. Seven people are plaintiffs in the suit filed in New Jersey Superior Court this week. It names Rider, the Westminster Choir College Acquisition Corporation, and Beijing Kaiwen Education Technology Co., Ltd., claiming that the proposed sale
is “a disguised takeover of an American college by the Chinese government,” said Bruce Afran, attorney for the Westminster Foundation, in a press release. The Foundation is made up of alumni and supporters working to maintain the choir college and protect its independence. The recent complaint joins plaintiffs with an existing lawsuit filed by Princeton Theological Seminary, which also seeks to block the sale, contending that Continued on Page 8

I n s i d e a p l a i n ye l l ow building on Leigh Avenue, generations of Princeton children have received their first taste of life in the classroom. Princeton Nurser y School has been a mainstay in Princeton’s WitherspoonJackson neighborhood for nearly nine decades. Space is tight and maintenance is a constant concern.
But the school’s administrators have resisted suggestions that it move to larger, roomier quarters. “People ask why we don’t relocate,” said Rosanda Wong, the executive director since last year. “It comes down to three things: We own the property. We don’t have the cash reserves. And most importantly, there is a history here.”

Keeping the school in the neighborhood is key, added Wong, because many of the 46 students are from working families who live within walking distance. They drop their kids off at 7:30 a.m. and pick them up at 5:30 p.m., knowing they have had breakfast, lunch, and a snack — 261 days a year. Tuition costs $1,150 a month, but only one family currently pays the full amount, Wong said. Some of the families qualify for a subsidy. Some pay $20 a month; others pay $150 or more. “The only requirement to come here is that parents are working, and most are in landscaping, construction, cleaning, restaurant kitchens, and office jobs,” she said. “Nearly 70 percent are within federal poverty guidelines. So they pay it forward when they can. Fathers who are in landscaping or construction help with those kinds of issues. They fix things. They help a lot.” The school’s 90th birthday celebration is currently in the planning stages. There is a lot to celebrate, said Wong, a native of Australia whose background is in private schools including Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart. “I came here because I wanted to make more of an impact,” she said. “Its mission just spoke to me.” Princeton Nursery School was founded by a wealthy Princeton resident, Margaret Matthews-Flinsch, to help working mothers who desperately needed a place for their pre-school-aged children to go during the day. “She was moved to start the school when she found that her laundress was locking her child in the servants’ quarters while she worked,” Wong said. “She saw there was a need, and she asked her wealthy
friends to contribute. That’s how it began.” The school follows the HighScope curriculum, which encourages active, p a r t i c i p a t o r y l e a r n i n g. “Math and literature are integrated,” said Wong. “It gets the children to use verbal skills and to think. It’s academic, but they play as well. It’s a beautiful balance.” The school has been multicultural since its inception. “What I love about this school is that it doesn’t mat ter where you come from,” said Wong. “There is a variety, from children of landscapers to children of visiting scholars.” Two houses converted into one have served as headquarters since the school’s Continued on Next Page

inception. The current focus of ongoing fundraising is the kitchen, which serves 37,000 meals a year and is in desperate need of upgrading. Wong expanded the board of trustees when she came on to include people of various talents. “This is a working board,” she said. “They don’t just raise money. They do maintenance, they paint, and help out wherever they can.” The school relies on volunteers, some of whom are alumni. The Pace Center at Princeton University provides 10 to 15 students a week each semester, one of whom has been coming back for three years. Many volunteer beyond what is required, Wong said. “We also have retired adults who come in. And during the summer, we have high school and college students. Corporations and private schools do ser v ice days here, and Mercer County’s Human Ser vices Depar tment gives us five volunteers as part of its summer youth employment program. With all of this help, our teachers can really provide engagement for the kids.” There is additional assistance from Princeton Public Library, the Arts Council of Princeton, and other sources. “There is a need here,” said Wong. “And not many people know about us.” On a recent summer afternoon, a table just inside the front door of the building was covered with fresh produce from the Mercer Street Friends Food Bank. Along one wall, shelves held shoes, clothing, and other donated items. “Our families are welcome to take whatever they need,” said Wong. “Helping them helps the kids, and it’s all about them. Our mission hasn’t changed in 90 years. Every dollar we raise goes directly to the children. We need to make sure our doors stay open for them.” —Anne Levin

Question of the Week:
“What is your favorite art form and why?”
(Asked Saturday at the Arts Council of Princeton’s Fall Open House) (Photos by Charles R. Plohn)
“My favorite art form nowadays is stained-glass window making. I am a stained-glass window maker and have been proud to have some pieces on display at the Arts Council of Princeton’s Sauce for the Goose.” —Jim Levine, interim director, Arts Council of Princeton
“My favorite art form is photography, because you can take it anywhere you go and capture memories that you can look back at. I also enjoy painting, but in the end, it’s photography. I love doing macro photography of flowers.” —Riya Sen, South Brunswick
Lauryn: “I love sculpture because I like how it models things from life. My favorite medium is clay.” Makenzie: “My favorite art form is dance. I am a dancer and I just loved how the different types of dance allow you to express yourself in different ways.” —From left, Taylor, Lauryn, and Makenzie Telford, East Orange with Annale Kelly, Princeton

On September 5, at 8:50 p.m., Princeton Police received a report of an attempted child luring that took place at 5 p.m. A 10-year-old girl was walking on Prospect Avenue heading home from a friend’s house when she noticed a red sedan or coupe, a “Mazdatype car” with a “stock looking spoiler,” traveling south on Riverside Drive East. The vehicle passed her, made a U-turn, and then stopped near the victim. A Caucasian male, 40-50 years old, with thinning light brown hair and wearing a yellow shirt, asked if she was OK and if she needed a ride. The victim responded she was fine and did not need any assistance. The incident remains under investigation, and additional patrols have been added to the area. Contact Det. Rober t Allie of the Princeton Police Detective Bureau at (609) 921-2100, ext. 2123 or call the confidential tip line at (609) 688-2049 with any information.
Christopher: “Sculpture, because I like making things with my hands.” Leanne: “I think that my favorite art form is also sculpture. I like going to see sculpture gardens and I love seeing the beautiful sculptures that are always at the Arts Council when we come here to perform.” — Leanne and Christopher Alexandrini, Princeton
John: “My favorite art form has to be music. I grew up with Broadway and jazz in my parents’ house. It was always in the background for me, and I’ve been a guitar player since age 8.” Lauren: “I would say music because it can be inclusive — anybody can sing, anybody can clap along. As an art form, I think it brings joy to everyone listening. Everybody has a favorite song.” Dennis: “I’m going to say multimedia. I love being a musician but I am also a filmmaker, so I am very visually oriented. I love coming to the Arts Council and seeing all the work they do here.” —John Abbott, New Brunswick with Laura Manfredi and Dennis Noblie, both of Plainsboro

operation and lease-up costs. Claiming that “the BOE still needs to do its homework,” the petition calls for a smaller referendum proposal to “address real necessities only, as well as the difficult tax environment in which Princeton finds itself” for a ballot vote in November 2019. Two candidates in the upcoming BOE election have added their voices to the opposition, with Mary Clurman, in a mass email, posing her own 10 questions for the BOE, and Daniel J. Dart issuing an “open letter” to parents of PPS students, supporting the petition and calling for withdrawal of the current referendum “plan that lacks critical community support.” Cranbury SRA Controversy As the referendum debate continues, additional controversy has arisen over the BOE June 12 decision to renew the district’s sendingreceiving agreement (SRA) with Cranbury, which since 1990 has brought students from Cranbury to Princeton HighSchool. Corrine O’Hara and Joel Schwartz on Monday filed a Petition of Appeal with the New Jersey Commissioner of Education, seeking to repeal the SRA renewal on the grounds that it is “both unjustified and harmful.” The petition also contends that the Cranbury representative on the Princeton BOE, Evelyn Spann, has repeatedly voted illegally on matters upon which she is barred from voting. The petitioners contend that the BOE based its decision on “inadequate and inaccurate infor mation”; that the SRA has a negative financial impact on Princeton taxpayers ; and that it “has overburdened PHS facilities, exacerbates racial imbalance, perpetuates existing minority achievement gaps, and generally creates an inequitable outcome for Princeton residents.” In responding to the Petition of Appeal by O’Hara and Schwar tz, Cochrane said, “We are currently in the process of reviewing the petition with our attorney but do not believe the lawsuit has any merit. We look forward to a favorable decision from the commissioner of education.” —Donald Gilpin
youth, adults, and seniors in diverse social service agencies — including residential treatment facilities, prisons, homeless shelters, adult education programs, libraries, senior centers, and alternative schools — on local, regional, and national levels. “I truly looking forward to advancing the mission Sarah set out on over 45 years ago,” said Wolf, who has served as the organization’s associate director for development and programs since 2014. Wolf was the board’s unanimous choice for new executive director. They cited her strengths in developing and maintaining relations with community-based organizations; her grant-writing abilities; and her data management expertise, which includes maintaining a relationship with the Harvard Humanities and Liberal Arts Assessment Lab ( HULA), where People & Stories / Gente y Cuentos program results are evaluated. “I am looking forward to an exciting future of chal-
lenges, efforts and successes,” wrote People & Stories/Gente y Cuentos lead coordinator and consultant Alma Concepción on hearing of Wolf’s appointment. “You know you can count on me going forward, with all my support for our ongoing exciting mission bringing beautiful literature to the community far and wide,” added Coordinator Marcy Schwartz. “The executive director search drew a remarkable pool of applicants from as far away as California, Costa Rica, and Paris,” noted
incoming Board President Ellen Gilbert, who was on the search committee. “It was a challenging process that made us all think long and hard about our organization and its mission.” Hirschman received the Princeton Area Community Foundation’s 12th annual Leslie “Bud” Vivian Award for Community Service in 2008. At the ceremony she was described as “a citizen of the world,” who include thousands of people in a world where the doors were previously closed.”

impartial and independent tribunal”; and that Wang’s case is part of a pattern of Iran targeting foreign nationals for detention. In Iran’s response to the petition, according to the UN Working Group, “the government did not explain…how Mr. Wang had cooperated with a foreign state… against the Islamic Republic of Iran, nor how accessing historical archives relating to a period of governance over 100 years ago could amount to an attempt to overthrow the Iranian government.” Iran also “did not explain how Mr. Wang’s trial on espionage charges posed a national security threat so serious that
its call for his immediate release will, in fact, expedite his release so he can return to his family and come back to campus to complete his Ph.D.” In a separate statement also issued Monday, Hua Qu described “many cruelties” that her husband had undergone “from being kidnapped to enduring solitary confinement, repeated interrogations, humiliating treatment, harsh living conditions, unjust legal proceedings, and immense emotional distress,” resulting in deterioration of his physical and mental health. “He has lost weight, developed arthritis in his knees, suffered rashes and pains all over his body, and fallen victim to depression,” she wrote. Urging the U.S. government
and the international community to work together to secure Wang’s release, Hua Qu described their son, “now 5 years old and starting kindergarten. Over the two years of his father’s absence, he has developed a remarkable resilience. But the problems of the adult world trouble him every single day. The devastating reality of our son’s young life is encapsulated in the question: ‘Why can’t Daddy come home after 855 days?’” The Working Group on Arbitrary Detention was established in 1991 by the former Commission on Human Rights to investigate cases of deprivation of liberty imposed arbitrarily or otherwise inconsistently with international standards and rights. —Donald Gilpin

Westminster Sale continued from page one
under the terms of a 1935 trust that funded the Choir College’s campus and buildings, such a transaction is illegal because it does not continue the mission of sacred music education. T he 92-year- old Choir College, which is located on a 22-acre campus in Princeton, was acquired by Lawrenceville-based Rider in 1991. Rider announced this past June that it planned to sell Westminster for $40 million to Beijing Kaiwen. The Chinese company was known as a steel and engineering firm until January of this year, when its name was changed to an education company. “Beijing Kaiwen is a subsidiary of Badachu Holdings Group, a wholly-owned unit of the Chinese government,” said Afran. “This proposed sale will endanger Westminster’s long tradition of academic freedom.” The complaint alleges that Beijing Kaiwen has created a sham nonprofit to conceal the true ownership of the school after the takeover by its parent Badachu, a Chines e gover n ment- ow ned investment group. “Never before has an A merican college or university come under the direct control of an authoritarian foreign government,” said Constance Fee, an alumna of Westminster and faculty member at Roberts Wesleyan College. Fee is president of the Westminster Foundation and is among the plaintiffs in the suit. In a recent filing with the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, Beijing Kaiwen was required to provide supplemental information about its purchase
well loved and well read since 1946
of Westminster Choir College. The response revealed that Westminster’s endowment, the campus, and all College assets would also be transferred to Beijing Kaiwen. “Not only will Westminster come under the direct control of the Chinese government but its endowment will be transferred to the books of Beijing Kaiwen, a violation of IRS regulations that require charitable endowments to be controlled by nonprofit organizations,” said Fee. The suit maintains that the sale could threaten national security, because it gives the Chinese government a base in Princeton, where much academic and defense research is conducted. “We know that members of Congress have been making inquiries about this transaction with the U.S. Department of Education,” Afran said. Under federal and state law, Rider does not have the power to sell Westminster to a commercial or Chinese government-controlled entity with no experience in higher education of professional music training, the complaint alleges. Westminster is renowned as a professional training center of singers, conductors, and music educators. The school’s choir performs with major musical organizations such as The New York Philharmonic and The Philadelphia Orchestra. “Westminster Choir has been invited on a courtesy tour of China by Kaiwen but we understand that its concert repertoire must be approved by the Chinese government, a governmental intervention never before imposed on Westminster or its performing groups,” said Fee. “Those of us who cherish academic and artistic freedom cannot sit by while an authoritarian government begins to control of American colleges and universities.” Rider University did not respond to a request for comment at press time. —Anne Levin

it warranted a closed hearing,” the Working Group noted. The report went on to claim that Wang’s imprisonment was motivated by the fact that he is a United States citizen and that his 10-year prison sentence is disproportionately heavy, “as there is no evidence that…he was intending to, or did in fact, conduct espionage or cause ethnic crisis in Iran.” Responding to the U.N. Working Group report on Monday, Princeton University Vice President and Secretary Robert K. Durkee said, “The Working Group makes it clear that Wang was in Iran solely to do scholarly work, and that the charges against him were entirely without merit.

Endorsing Two Candidates for Council Who Will Deliver “Message of Resistance”
To the Editor: The upcoming November election is one of crucial importance to our nation at the local, state, county, and national levels. Progressive values are under attack. Gains in health care, in environmental safeguards, and in protections for our most vulnerable citizens have been rolled back. We need representatives who advocate for a compassionate society, not a nation governed by fear. Local and regional governments act as a pipeline to, and bulwark against, the divisive tactics at the federal level that have set religious, ethnic, and cultural groups against each other. In Princeton, we have two excellent Democratic candidates for Princeton Council, Eve Niedergang and Dwaine Williamson. Their campaign theme is “A Princeton for All,” and they are advocates for a welcoming and inclusive community, prudent stewardship of financial resources, sustainable growth, and a commitment to affordability. Williamson and Niedergang will work for a Princeton where people from all economic backgrounds can share in the advantages our town has to offer. Both Niedergang, who received her bachelor’s degree at Cornell and master’s at Princeton, and Williamson, a graduate of Georgetown University and Rutgers Law School, have lived in Princeton since the 1980s and have raised their children here. Both have extensive experience in campaigning for local, state and national Democratic candidates, as well as extensive records of service on area nonprofit boards. Williamson is a member of the Princeton Planning Board. On November 6, vote. Vote for the entire Democratic ticket from bottom to top. In midterm elections, usually one-third of Democrats turn out to vote. If we ALL turn out this time, the message of resistance will be unmistakable. SCOTIA W. MACRAE Chair, Princeton Democratic Municipal Committee Evelyn Place
How a Hibiscus Tree Connected Me to My Princeton Neighbor
To the Editor; A community is built by focusing on people’s gifts, and diversity among community members makes this approach all the more important. With “Welcoming Week” just around the corner [Sept. 14-23], it is a wonderful time to come together to recognize all of the opportunities to connect with and learn from one another. As recent transplants from Missouri to the Garden State, my wife and I were delighted to eventually connect with a reclusive neighbor through a hibiscus tree. It was evident from viewing her prolific garden that our neighbor must be a master gardener. One of the stereotypes about people in Missouri is that they won’t hesitate to look you straight in the eye, introduce themselves, and hold a full-fledged conversation whether or not you’re interested. Yet for several years I struggled to figure out how a guy like me from the Bible belt could “break down the middle wall of partition between us” in relation to this seemingly reclusive neighbor. It happened one day last summer when she walked by our back porch and said something to the effect of “whatever you’re doing to care for your hibiscus tree, don’t stop - it’s beautiful!” It was weeks later that I had an opportunity to share that my hibiscus thrived on regular doses of Miracle Grow. I then asked her for ideas on how to properly care for it. The wall between us came tumbling down as she insisted on going to Ace Hardware with me to buy the right-sized pot and the correct potting soil. During our round trip to Ace, I learned the incredible life story of this remarkable, unassuming person. She had an almost Horatio Alger-like story to share, along with a selfless heart of gold. Nineteenth-century theologian Mary Baker Eddy best describes this heartfelt connection with my new neighbor: “When the heart speaks, however simple the words, its language is always acceptable to those who have hearts.” And isn’t this an approach that can give us a helpful starting point for conversations that will make every week a “Welcoming Week”?

Thoughts on Hiroshima Debate With Input From Paul Fussell
To the Editor: Ms. [Niki] VanAller’s says her organization “favor[s] diplomacy, not war, with Iran and North Korea.” [Mailbox, Aug. 29]. Well, so does everyone else, most of all, anyone in harm’s way. But good intentions do not excuse serial misstatements. “Iran has no nuclear weapons to date,” she claims, despite abundant evidence of Iranian-North Korean collusion to transfer nuclear weapon and ballistic missile technology between the two countries. Iran drew on North Korean expertise and used cutouts to construct a defense infrastructure to protect and conceal its military nuclear program. It rejects the 1987 Missile Technology Control Regime, and actively schemes to acquire, develop, and deploy a broad range of ballistic missiles and space launch capabilities. Nor is it true that “the U.S. has over 7,000 of them,” i.e., nuclear weapons. The correct number is 1,350 warheads says the Arms Control Association, slightly less than Russia’s 1,444. Whether 1,350 is the ideal number “useful for deterrence” is unknowable, but the deterrent effect is indisputable, for which Ms. VanAller should be immensely grateful. Contention over the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is not limited to “modern historians,” for scholars have debated the counterfactual since the events themselves. No one challenges the horrors that beset Japanese and other victims — including American POWs — on those two fateful days. But it is worth re-reading longtime Princeton resident Paul Fussell’s forceful rebuttal of claims (here, John Kenneth Galbraith’s) that the Japanese government would have surrendered soon. “He thinks the A-bombs were unnecessary and unjustified because the war was ending anyway. The A-bombs meant, he says, ‘a difference, at most, of two or three weeks.’ But at the time, with no indication that surrender was on the way, the kamikazes were sinking American vessels, the Indianapolis was sunk (880 men killed), and Allied casualties were running to over 7,000 per week. ‘Two or three weeks,’ says Galbraith.” “Two weeks more means 14,000 more killed and wounded, three weeks more, 21,000. Those weeks mean the world if you’re one of those thousands or related to one of them. During the time between the dropping of the Nagasaki bomb on August 9 and the actual surrender on the fifteenth, the war pursued its accustomed course: on the twelfth of August eight captured American fliers were executed (heads chopped off); the fifty-first United States submarine, Bonefish, was sunk (all aboard drowned); the destroyer Callaghan went down, the seventieth to be sunk, and the Destroyer Escort Underhill was lost. That’s a bit of what happened in six days of the two or three weeks posited by Galbraith. What did he do in the war? He worked in the Office of Price Administration in Washington. I don’t demand that he experience having his ass shot off. I merely note that he didn’t.” It is fitting to end as Professor Fussell did: “The past, which as always did not know the future, acted in ways that ask to be imagined before they are condemned. Or even simplified.” JOHN R. HAINES Senior Fellow, Foreign Policy Research Institute One Palmer Square Note: The Paul Fussell quote is from the August 1981 New Republic essay, “Thank God for the Atom Bomb.”

Concierge Medicine
There’s a new trend in healthcare, and it’s gaining momentum in our area. 0g AO`OV 3[WZg 5WZPS`b =`WUW\OZZg ^cPZWaVSR W\ >`W\QSb]\ ;OUOhW\S 2` 0O`PO`O / 0`]e\ ZSTb O\R 2` :g\\S 0 9]aa]e ]T >`W\QSb]\ :WTSabgZS ;SRWQW\S
F
or the past two years, Dr. Lynne B. Kossow and Dr. Barbara A. Brown of Princeton Lifestyle Medicine have offered their patients far more than the traditional primary care practice. Most doctors see 25-30 patients a day for an average of 15 minutes, but Drs. Kossow and Brown see six to eight patients a day for up to an hour. In addition to providing treatment for acute illnesses, the doctors act as their clients’ healthcare coaches through Lifestyle Medicine, a scientific approach to patient wellness by effecting changes in areas such as diet, physical activity, and stress management. With the current shortage of primary care physicians and the abundance of high volume practices, this type of individualized attention is rare. However, by switching to a concierge format, doctors like Kossow and Brown are able to practice medicine that consists of this broad-spectrum care. Concierge medicine, also known as retainer-based medicine, is an umbrella term for private medical care wherein patients pay an out-of-pocket fee in exchange for enhanced care. Born in the 1990s, concierge medicine was once thought of as a service for the wealthy that charged patients a lofty fee for luxury medicine. In recent years, it has evolved to accommodate patients across all income brackets, leading to expanding interest among patients and their primary care doctors. According to a survey released by the American Academy of Private Physicians at the AAPP 2015 Fall Summit, more than 45 percent of 862 independent physicians would consider a concierge or similar membership model in the next three years. This may be due in part to our aging population needing increased and varied medical services, leading to an imbalanced patient/doctor ratio. The implementation of the Affordable Care Act has increased the number of insured patients, putting a further strain on primary care doctors. As a result, physicians are often unable to dedicate enough time to each patient. In the hopes of increasing both job and patient satisfaction in a financially sustainable way, primary physicians like Dr. Kossow and Dr. Brown are looking toward concierge medicine. “Where conventional medicine is failing is in the prevention and reversal of chronic diseases that are becoming an epidemic in the United States today,â€? explain the doctors. “The current insurance model is built upon a problembased economic reimbursement that encourages doctors to address medical problems very quickly. This leads to most doctors rushing to see 25-30 patients per day in order to make ends meet‌This is not how we have ever practiced. We always want to have the time to address the root cause of diseases that are preventable today.â€? “For the past two years, we have been offering our Lifestyle Medicine Concierge Program as an optional program for our patients,â€? they continue. “Lifestyle Medicine is a 21st century approach to healthcare that consolidates the very best characteristics of traditional medicine with the profound impact of lifestyle behaviors on health. As our program grew, it became readily apparent to us that integrating Lifestyle Medicine into our internal medicine practice
was the best way for us to continue to provide exceptional care‌ We feel that the concierge model is the only way to effectively [do that].â€? Concierge medical practices come in various forms, including those that reject insurance plans all together, but this is not the case for Princeton Lifestyle Medicine. Dr. Kossow and Dr. Brown accept insurance for all covered medical services. In addition, their patients pay an annual fee of $1,200 for the Lifestyle Medicine Concierge program, which gives them access to an elevated level of care. Trained at the Institute of Lifestyle Medicine at Harvard Medical School, the doctors are at the vanguard of their field, having lectured about their practice development model at The Institute of Lifestyle Medicine Conference in 2015. They are also members of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and the American College of Physicians. Dr. Kossow and Dr. Brown’s practice is unique in that it offers patients comprehensive conventional medical care combined with lifestyle counseling. Patients interested in a natural approach to disease prevention are provided in-depth, individualized coaching based on their needs. The doctors can assist with everything from quitting smoking to creating a manageable diet and exercise plan. According to the doctors, this is an evidence-based practice that has been shown to prevent, reverse, or slow down heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, diabetes, dementia, and some cancers. The concierge model offers Princeton Lifestyle Medicine patients additional benefits including access to the doctors’ emails, cell phone numbers, and private phone line, extended patient office visits, a one-hour consultation, and same or next day appointments. As a result, patients see Drs. Kossow and Brown not only as accomplished medical doctors, but health advocates, mentors, and even friends. “Our practice structure allows us to spend more time educating our patients about what may be going on with them medically,â€? the doctors explain. “We are better able to work with them as partners in their care and advocate for them with their specialists or if they are in the hospital. We provide tremendous support and guidance to them and their caretakers or family. We are happy to have this enhanced communication with our patients. It allows us to make social visits when they are hospitalized at the University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro so that we can stay in close touch while they are receiving care.â€? Concierge practices like Princeton Lifestyle Medicine focus the healthcare system on its most vital component: the patient-doctor relationship. The model emphasizes quality care instead of quick care, benefitting both parties. Dr. Brown and Kossow are now board certified as specialists in the practice of Lifestyle Medicine and are the only physicians in the Princeton area who are board certified in both Internal Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine. As leaders in both concierge and Lifestyle medicine, it comes as no surprise that Dr. Kossow and Dr. Brown are at the forefront of this effort, bringing Princeton into the future of healthcare.

DRIVING ELECTRIC: Electric vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curious locals gathered Saturday at the West Windsor Community Farmers’ Market to take part in a National Drive Electric Week event featuring more than 23 plug-in vehicles and their owners. New Jersey Electric Auto Association Vice President Sal Cameli stands beside his 100 percent electric Nissan Leaf.
It’s Drive Electric Week; Cars With Plugs Increasing in West Windsor and Princeton If the electric vehicle (EV) drivers, enthusiasts, and curious onlookers who showed up Saturday at the National Drive Electric Week event at the West Windsor Community Farmers’ Market are any indication, your next car might be electric, and it won’t be long before traditional internal combustion engines have gone the way of the horse and buggy. The ow ners of the 23 EVs in attendance Saturday emphasized the clean-air benefits and cost-savings of their cars, answered questions from spectators, and shared their EV ownership experiences. “I haven’t bought gas or oil in five and a half years,” said Sal Cameli, standing beside his 2013 Nissan Leaf. “One thousand miles costs only $31.” Cameli, who is vice president of the New Jersey Electric Auto Association, wears a T-shirt that says “Starve a terrorist, drive an electric car,” and his license plate reads “U Buy Gas.” At ubuygas.com, he states, you can “learn how to reduce or eliminate your need for gasoline.” “The Nissan Leaf is a great car,” Cameli continued. The current model, he said, can cost less than $24,000 with federal tax rebates and New Jersey waiving sales tax on EVs. “The technology is getting better and better, and cheaper,” he added. He described his car as “like the iPhone 2, and the 2018 model is the iPhone 8.” West Windsor resident Avinash Pawar described his experience as owner of a 2018 Nissan Leaf. “I like it,” he said. “It gives me 150 miles on a full charge, gets me to work and back, about 85 miles roundtrip, and I can charge it for free at public charging stations for the first two years. I stop at at the turnpike rest area on the way to work, take a coffee break for about 15 minutes, then it’s charged up. I’m obsessed with the whole electric technology.” In Princeton, as of February 2018, there were 326 EVs or plug-in hybrids registered, according to data collected for Sustainable Princeton’s (SP) greenhouse gas inventory, said SP Executive Director Molly Jones, and “hopefully that number
has continued to rise.” Public charging is currently available in the Spring Street garage, at the Princeton Shopping Center, and in the Chambers Street garage. SP is also working to encourage employers and multiunit dwellings to apply for the state’s It Pay$ to Plug In program, which once refunded, will offset the cost of purchasing and installing electric vehicle charging stations. SP urges the public to contact them to learn more. “We are also work ing with the municipality on the possibility of installing new charging sites in public parking areas and the potential for introducing an electric vehicle car share in town,” Jones noted. In addition to three Nissans and several Teslas of different models, EVs at Sat urday’s event, which was sponsored by Plug in America, the Sierra Club, the Electric Auto Association, and Nissan Leaf, included Chevrolet Bolts and Volts, BMWs, a Ford Focus,
a Honda Clarity, a Mercedes Benz, and a Mitsubishi. Though EV sales in the U.S. were only 1.16 percent of total auto sales in 2017, according to Sierra magazine, 2018 sales have risen significantly. Last year China’s sales were three times those of the U.S., and in Norway, thanks to incentives, more than half of all new car registrations were either hybrid or battery electric. EV models are proliferating, and most new cars will be offered with a plug-in variant. Range and performance are improving rapidly, Sierra magazine stated, as prices are falling. Princeton University Engineering Professor and EV expert Alain Kornhauser will be presenting a program on “Electric Vehicles: Opportunities for Central New Jersey,” tonight, Wednesday, September 12, at 6:30 p.m. at the Mercer County Community College Student Center/Welcome Center. —Donald Gilpin

Princeton’s organic waste program, in which food and other organic materials are supposed to go to a composting facility, is currently at risk because participants are routinely including plastic bags and utensils in the waste. As a result, the material has been going to an incinerator in Tullytown, Pa., for the past several months. Those enrolled in the program, who pay $65 a year, were informed of the situation via an email last Saturday. Mayor Liz Lempert, who learned of the problems two weeks ago, wrote that Princeton’s composting bins contain too much prohibited material to be accepted at the farm utilized by the town’s hauler, Solterra. “I regret that we did not learn about this situation sooner, so we could share information with you,” she wrote. “We have spoken to the hauler and to Mercer County Improvement Authority, which oversees municipal waste handling, about improving communication so we are able to keep program participants fully informed.” Approximately 800 households are part of the program, Lempert said on Tuesday. A farm in Pottstown, Pa., has been identified as a possible solution to the problem, and a trial delivery was sent there last week. “Clearly, we need to do a better job working with our composters to improve the content of our food waste in order to keep this important program viable,” she wrote. “Discussions continue with the Pottstown farm, and, with your help, we hope to demonstrate our food waste stream is clean enough to be a valuable resource.” Princeton was the first town in New Jersey to start a compost program. “While it is exciting and rewarding to be a pioneer, the downside is that there are often bumps along the way to innovation,” Lempert said. “It is critical that we address the problem of contamination, so that our food waste can be recycled into a valuable soil enrichment, and so that other towns can benefit from our work on this critical environmental problem.” Lempert urges residents to keep plastic items out of the compost buckets, and to use paper grocery or compostable bags with the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) seal on the box. They are available at McCaffrey’s Market, Whole Earth, Ace Hardware, and on line. A full list of acceptable materials is posted on the municipal website princetonnj.gov. Princeton was one of 35 finalists in a program funded by Bloomberg Philanthropies. Working with a research team from Princeton University, the town is wait-

Young Audiences Offers $5,000 Arts Grants for Local Schools Young Audiences New Jersey & Eastern Pennsylvania (YA), providing arts experiences to thousands of area school children over the past 45 years, has announced education grants for up to $5,000 to fund assembly programming for the upcoming year, with an October 5 application deadline. Grant recipients will work with YA staff to plan their schools’ arts assembly programs based on the school’s specific needs. “The grants come at a critical time, when schools throughout the area have cut back arts programs,” said YA President Michele Russo. “Many schools are committed to the value of arts education, but simply can’t afford it. Our goal at YA is to ensure that ALL children have the opportunity to receive quality arts experiences with professional working artists to develop their creative, innovative skills needed to succeed in learning and life.” For information and grant applications, visit www.yanjep.org or call (866) 500-9265.
Future of PARCC Test Remains in Doubt The New Jersey State Board of Education (BOE) is scheduled to vote today, Wednesday, September 12, on new school testing regulations proposed by the Murphy administration, according to Save Our Schools NJ. The proposals include reduction of the number of Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) tests high school students must take from six to two; shortening by 25 percent the length of time that all New Jersey public school students spend taking standardized tests; and changing the graduation requirements for the classes of 2021 and beyond to enable students to use multiple other options to graduate (SAT, ACT, PSAT, ASVAB, Accuplacer, and the portfolio option) rather than being able to graduate only if they score a four or five on the PARCC Algebra 1 and 10th grade English Language Arts tests.

“The Sky’s Gone Out” Exhibit at MCCC Kerney
Mercer County Community College’s (MCCC’s) James Ker ney Campus G aller y (JKCG) presents “The Sky’s Gone Out,” a personal meditation on a post-9/11 New York City by Brooklyn-based photographer Kai McBride. T he show r u ns t hrough Thursday, October 4. A Community Reception and Artist’s Talk take place
Wednesday, September 12 from 5 to 7 p.m. McBride’s talk will begin at 6 p.m. J KCG is lo c ate d i n MCCC’s Trenton Hall, 137 North Broad Street, across the street from the Kerney Building. Hours for this exhibit are Tuesdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; Wednesdays, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.; and Thursdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. McBride has focused his lens on two subjects that
were profoundly altered for him following the traumatic events in 2001: the Empire State Building and commercial air planes in the cityscape. The exhibit captures both subjects in a series of black and white silver-gelatin prints. In his artist statement, the photographer writes, “In 1971, the World Trade Center towers ended the Empire State Building’s four-decade
reign as the tallest building in the world. Nearly 30 years later, as we witnessed the horror of the twin towers falling, the 102-story building was once again the tallest in New York. These photographs draw attention to the building’s stature and renewed significance by showing only the Art Deco spire slyly poking above and merging with elements of other buildings in the foreground.” McBride also developed a new perspective on airplanes, which, with three busy airports nearby, are a constant presence in the skies over New York. “I vividly remember the first plane that I heard overhead when commercial flights were resumed after September 11. I felt compelled to look up and follow its path, which ended in a little jolt as it disappeared behind a building. After having that feeling while watching planes intersect with buildings for several years, I decided to start photographing these moments,” he said. McBride had been working on these two bodies of work separately until it occurred to him that they were stronger when seen together, emphasizing their common source in a loss of innocence and a new awareness of a scar in the skyline.

“Pushing 40” Exhibit at Trenton City Museum
The Trenton Museum Society has announced “Pushing 40,” a “reunion” exhibit celebrating 40 years of promoting fine art by artists in the greater Trenton region. More than 50 artists who have exhibited their work in small group or solo shows at the Trenton City Museum during the past 40 years are returning to the Ellarslie Ma ns ion i n C adwa lader Park from September 15 to November 10. An opening reception is on Saturday, September 15 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. For fou r de c ade s, E l larslie has served as both venue and gathering place for local and regional artists. In its infancy, while the Museum Societ y worked to develop the historical collections of the Trenton City Museum, its leadership forged a special relationship with the newly formed artists’ collective in the city: the Trenton Artists Workshop Association (TAWA). Through this relationship, a thriving community of local, contemporary artists were introduced to the museum. For many now-notable regional artists, their show at
Ellarslie was the first official recognition of their role as an artist, often marking the beginning of a successful career as a professional in the arts world. Ellarslie also provided a welcoming space for local artists to connect with each other and form a supportive, engaging community. The artwork on display in “Pushing 40” speaks to the role Ellarslie has played in helping to cultivate artistic excellence over the past four decades. The invited artists have also been asked to share some personal reflections about their relationship with Ellarslie.

Think Global Buy Local
Going Back to the Garden with Humphrey Bogart and Ida Lupino We are stardust We are golden And we have to get ourselves Back to the garden ’m not a big Joni Mitchell fan. She never moved me the way Kate Bush does when she becomes the spirit of Cathy singing outside Heathcliff ’s window in “Wuthering Heights” or the spirit of Emily Brontë herself in all her untapped wildness when she makes albums like The Dreaming and Hounds of Love. But those lines from Mitchell’s “Woodstock” not only capture the best spirit of the Sixties, they speak to the here and now of Princeton in September 2018, where we have a Garden to get back to, and on Hollywood Nights it’s not just a refuge from the breakingnews madness of our time, it’s an escape route to the days when a B -movie gangster became Hu mphrey B ogar t. My wife and I took our time getting to the Garden to see Nicholas Ray’s In a Lonely Place (1950 ), one of the lesser known Bogarts. But Bogart is Bogart, the house was packed, and we were lucky to find seats together. The Supreme Antihero I was on my way from a column about Frankenstein to on e on Wuther ing Heights the night we saw In a Lonely Place, a title that resonates with both novels, and it’s not all t hey have in com mon. Played by t he screen’s su preme antihero, Bogar t’s Holly wood screenwriter Dix Steele is a variation on Heat hclif f w it h elements in com mon with Mar y Shelley’s lonely creature. The monster tropes are there, the glar ing eyes, the t w isted mouth, the catatonic movements of a wounded, enraged human beast making mayhem. This isn’t the Bogar t of The Maltese Falcon (1941) or The Big Sleep (1946) or Casablanca (1942); those were edgy entertainers in a diverting mixture of gunfire, existential cool and hard-bitten repartee no more dangerous than curling up with a good book on a rainy day. In Dix Steele, you get glimpses of Bogart’s demon. L i ke it or not, you’re at t ach e d to this explosive character the moment the opening credits move across the s cre e n ; h e’s r id i ng a ra zor e dge of rage and you’re in the passenger seat as he drives into the night, images of film noir LA flashing past; when a car pulls alongside at the first stoplight and
I
someone says somet hing he doesn’t like, Dix is primed for a fight, an exsoldier who’s still at war. A Pr inceton Connection In a Lonely Place is adapted from Dorothy B. Hughes’s 1947 mystery novel about a serial killer with a Princeton pedigree. He lives in a Spanish style apar t m ent complex t hat evoke s t he Garden of A llah, a Holly wood hangout for actors and w r iters, including Scott Fitzgerald. In the novel the place is called the Virginibus Arms, and the Fitzgerald association may have had s om e t h i ng to do w it h t h e fac t t hat Hughes’s character went to Princeton,
work i n g h i s w ay t h rou g h s ch o ol i n a hardware store. His neighbor and lover, L aurel Gray ( played by Glor ia Grahame in the film), likes to call him “Princeton,” which she associates with “money and social position.” Unlike his rich uncle, who believed that going to Old Nassau “was like being a senator or maybe Jehovah,” Dix had no wish to be “a Princeton man.” Changing the Narrative Nick Ray has said that he changed the Ivy League serial killer to a murder suspect because he wanted the film to be “about the v iolence in all of us.” The same thinking influenced his last-
minute decision to modify the ending in which Dix actually does kill Laurel and is arrested even as he completes his screenplay, the film’s final shot a close-up of the last lines: “I was born when she kissed me, I died when she left me, I lived a few weeks while she loved me.” Those in the Garden audience who applauded In a Lonely Place were responding to the sound of Bogart’s voice speaking those words and perhaps also to the knowledge that the actor playing the shaken, drained-looking man watching the love of his life walk away had only six more years to live.
what happened this time — when or how the click in his brain took place — but suddenly he was fighting w ith me. I got more and more frightened. He star ted slamming his fists on the table...I’d never seen f ur y like t hat-unreasonable, lashing out. I hated it.” Bogart and Lupino T he G arden’s upcom ing 100 t h an n ivers ar y celebrat ion of Ida Lupino (1918-1995) sent me to Filmstruck to see Bogart’s breakthrough film, High Sierra (1941), in which 22-year-old Lupino plays the taxi dancer with a heart of gold tagging along with 42-year-old Bogart as “Mad Dog” Roy Earl, an excon based on John Dillinger. As a film, High Sierra is as loose and baggy as In a Lonely Place is solid and sure. Too bad we didn’t see it on the big screen at the Garden. At home, you can groan at the heavy handed music, cheer as a mutt named Pard ( Bogart’s own dog in real life) runs off with the movie, and gush about how Lupino makes it all worth watching. Although it would be a decade before she became a director, she’s already at it in her own sweet way when she urges Bogart to take the dog along every time Pard chases after the car, even on the night of the big heist. In 1967, looking back on her career as a director in an essay titled “Me, Mother Directress,” Lupino expresses somet hing like t he same sweet ness. “With the guys on the set I say ‘Darlings, mother has a problem. I’d love to do this. Can you do it? It sounds kooky but I want to do it. Now, can you To: ___________________________do it for me? ’ And they do it — they From: _________________________just do it.”Date & Time: __________________ Wednesday, September 19 at Here is a proof of your ad, scheduled to runext ___________________. 7:30, the Garden will be showing Please check it thoroughly and pay special The attention to the following: Bigamist (1953), a film noir In her portrait of Bogart in Lulu in Lupino directed and stars in, along with (Your check mark will tell us it’s okay) Hollywood, Louise Brooks, who had Joan Fontaine and Edmund O’Br ien. known him since 1921, singles out In Fans of Hollywood Nights will rememPhonePlace number Fax number � Expiration Date a� Lonely as a film�whose title ber her�inAddress another Nick Ray film, On “perfectly defined” his own insolation.

THEATER REVIEW
O
“Newsies” Go On Strike and Entertain Audiences at Kelsey Theatre; Strong Production Shows Why the Flop Musical Film Succeeds on Stage
n July 23, 1899, the New York Herald printed the following headline: “Newsboys’ Strike Promises Success.” That promise is fulfilled by PinnWorth Productions’ presentation of the Broadway musical Newsies, which is playing at the Kelsey Theatre. Directed by LouJ Stalsworth, this polished, energetic production demonstrates why the unsuccessful 1992 film succeeds on stage. Having rejuvenated the genre of animated musicals with blockbusters such as The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast, Disney attempted to do the same for live-action musical films. However, Newsies was commercially unsuccessful in its theatrical release. Nevertheless, the home video of the film found a loyal audience. The stage version initially was developed for licensing to stock and amateur companies, but after a successful run at the Paper Mill Playhouse, the show opened on Broadway in 2012. The musical won two Tony Awards that year: Best Score and Best Choreography. The music is by Alan Menken, who conspicuously minimizes his trademark use of pastiche in favor of a driving pop score that accentuates the protagonists’ tenacity, though the rhythmic dance numbers are interspersed with anthems and ballads that prevent the show from becoming relentless. The concise, conversational lyrics are by Jack Feldman. The book by Harvey Fierstein is adapted from the screenplay of the Disney film, written by Bob Tzudiker and Noni White. Tzudiker and White loosely based their script on events of the Newsboys’ Strike of 1899. Joseph Pulitzer, the publisher of the New York World, attempts to outsell his competitors by increasing the newspapers’ cost to the delivery boys. The “newsies” will have to sell additional papers to avoid taking a loss. Three delivery boys — Jack Kelly, Davey, and Davey’s younger brother, Les — hide in a vaudeville-style theater to evade the warden of the Refuge, a juvenile detention center. The theater is owned by Medda Larkin, a performer for whom Jack paints backdrops. Medda’s audience includes Katherine Plumber, a reporter who has been sent to review her act. Later we will discover that Katherine is related to an important character. As Medda’s show continues, Jack reflects on his budding feelings for Katherine. With its overlapping melodic lines, this dual number, “I Never Planned on You/Don’t Come a-Knocking,” is intricate. Upon learning about Pulitzer’s price increase, Jack leads the other delivery boys on strike. Katherine undertakes to write an ar-
ticle about the strike, in the hopes of attaining recognition as a serious journalist. After a skirmish between the strikers and the police, Crutchie — Jack’s disabled friend — is arrested and taken to the Refuge. Unwilling to endanger any of the other boys, Jack is tempted to end the strike and leave New York for Santa Fe. Later, he must decide whether or not to accept a compromise that is offered by Pulitzer. Fierstein’s changes included combining two characters into one to create Katherine. Similarly, Menken and Feldman cut two songs written for Medda, replacing them with “That’s Rich.” They also added several new songs, including “The Bottom Line” for Pulitzer, who never sings in the film. Inescapably, several characters are archetypes that have been seen elsewhere in musicals. The earnest, ambitious Katherine echoes Betty Schaefer, the wholesome love interest for the protagonist in Sunset Boulevard. The spunky urchin Les, who in this production is portrayed with impish charm by Camryn Burniston, recalls Gavroche in Les Misera-
bles, as well as the title character in Oliver! However, it is a mark of the stage musical’s success that it is possible to be aware of this, and still be moved by the show and its characters, particularly Jack. As a musical theater character, the feisty, egalitarian Jack recalls the protagonists of shows by George M. Cohan, the playwright, songwriter, and performer whose Broadway career started just a few years after Newsies takes place. An example is Cohan’s 1904 musical Little Johnny Jones, in which the title character is determined to prove that an American jockey can win an English derby. Jack shares that character’s fortitude, though his motives are more altruistic. Rob Ryan’s performance as Jack makes clear that the character is tough because to survive, he must mask his vulnerabilities. Ryan’s performance of “Santa Fe,” Jack’s impassioned signature ballad at the end of the first act, is the highlight it needs to be, underscoring the character’s mixture of anger and optimism. Bridget Hughes is amusing in “Watch

What Happens,” in which Katherine is initially daunted by the task of writing about the strike; the number bears a slight resemblance to “Getting Married Today,” which is sung by a neurotic bride in the Stephen Sondheim musical Company. Hughes’ delicate soprano is pretty in “Something to Believe In,” a duet for Katherine and Jack. Peter Sauer makes the condescending Pulitzer into an entertaining antagonist, largely through the use of an exaggerated accent mixed with an oily demeanor. As the flamboyant Medda, Mimi B. Francis stops the show with her charismatic performance of “That’s Rich.” In this she is helped by a sleek, bright red dress that is one of costume designer Kate Pinner’s most alluring creations. The entire cast is tireless in its performance of the acrobatic choreography by Koren Zander. Conducted by François Suhr, the orchestra offers a smooth delivery of the crisp arrangements by Danny Troob. The choral performances are equally satisfying, particularly in the anthem, “Seize the Day.” The video design by Robert A. Terrano cinematically establishes the settings, and uses text to illustrate the concept of Katherine and the delivery boys making the news rather than merely reporting or selling it. Terrano’s set, which divides part of the stage into square compartments, aids Stalsworth in exploring the show’s theme. Stalsworth’s staging evokes the late Broadway director Gower Champion, who used compartments to show teenagers in separate rooms having telephone conversations in Bye Bye Birdie; or passengers in separate train cars in 42nd Street. Stalsworth uses scaffolding to accentuate a central message of Newsies: to effect social change for the common good, isolation must be replaced by solidarity. When Jack is tempted to abandon the strike after Crutchie’s arrest, he sings “Santa Fe” in a compartment. Conversely, in “Brooklyn’s Here,” delivery boys from the different boroughs emerge from the scaffolding to join each other on center stage. Eventually, strikers enter front of house, bringing the audience into the action. ltimately, this element of community is something the film could not deliver, but the stage show can—and does. Certain musicals work in either medium: The Sound of Music, Chicago, and The Lion King all are successful examples. The story of Newsies, however, is one that requires the connection between performers and audiences that happens in live theater. —Donald H. Sanborn III

Dryden Ensemble Autumn Benefit Program
CUBAN ROOTS: Aydmara Cabrera, shown here in “Swan Lake,” hopes to bring her experience at National Ballet of Cuba into the curriculum of Princeton Ballet School.
Princeton Ballet School Names New Head
For m e r N at i o n a l B a l let of Cuba principal dancer Aydmara Cabrera has been named school director of Princeton Ballet School (PBS), the official school of American Repertory Ballet (ARB). According to Julie Diana Hench, executive director of American Repertory Ball e t a n d P r i n c e to n B a l let School, “Ms. Cabrera is already a beloved teacher and ballet master at PBS, and will be an incredible member of the leadership team. She has impressive profe s s iona l exp er ie n ce and an inspiring vision for the School that will provide students even greater opportunities. Ms. Cabrera’s passion for the art form is infectious and we are thrilled to have her lead Princeton Ballet School into an exciting new era.” Born in Cuba, Cabrera began her ballet studies at the age of 9 at the National Ballet School in Havana and became a principal dancer at the National Ballet of Cuba, under the direction of Alicia Alonso. She also performed with Ballet Hispanico of New York. In the course of her career, Cabrera was partnered by José Manuel Carreño, Carlos Acosta, Orlando Salgado, Lienz Chang, Jorge Vega, and José Zamorano, before moving to the United States and directing her own school in Miami. She has also been invited to teach at many internationally-recognized schools, including Princeton Ballet School, developing a training curriculum that incorporates much of her Cuban roots. About her recent appointment, Cabrera said, “Princeton Ballet School is a wonderful organization in which innovation distinguishes its leadership. I am honored to be part of it and have the opportunity to guide our dancers to value and own their education.” “On behalf of the board, I am delighted to welcome Aydmara Cabrera,” said Charles Metcalf, chair of the board of trustees. “She brings with her a wealth of knowledge and experience and will be a tremendous addition to the School. PBS
is at the forefront of ballet schools nationally and with Ms. Cabrera at its helm will reaffirm PBS’s commitment and dedication to training a new generation of dancers.”
Folk Music Old and New is On Radio Show
John Weingart’s Sunday evening show on W R PB radio begins its 45th year on Sunday, September 16, from 7 to 10 p.m. Music You Can’t Hear on the Radio is broadcast live from Pr inceton on 103.3 F M
and streamed worldwide at WPRB.com. The program is notable for the well of often little-known music from which Weingart draws and the sets he creates around varied themes that may be topical, humorous, poignant, beautiful, or just great music. The show generally includes old and new country blues and string band music, bluegrass, singer-songwriters, and other music loosely classified as folk or Americana that was recorded as long ago as the 1920s, and as recently as this month.
“A Journey through Italy” is the title of the Dryden Ensemble’s benefit program on Saturday, September 15, at the Westland Mansion, historic home of President Grover Cleveland.

The music begins at 5 p.m. The Dryden Ensemble, a professional, nonprofit chamber music ensemble, specializes in music of the 17th and 18th centuries played on period instrument in the stylistic conventions of the time. Special guest Jennifer van Dyck joins the Dryden’s chamber musicians, an ensemble of violin, oboe, cello, and lute, performing music of the Italian Baroque combined with dramatic readings from the letters and diaries of early travelers to Italy and the plays of Carlo Goldoni. A Princeton native, Van Dyck has extensive stage, film, and television credits. She is a longtime collaborator with playwright/actor
BACK ON THE AIR: John Weingart returns to WPRB radio on September 16 to begin his 45th year of the unique folk music program “Music You Can’t Hear on the Radio.” Charles Busch and director Carl Andress. Westland Mansion was home of U.S. President Grover Cleveland from the time of his retirement from the presidency in 1897 until his death in 1908. Mrs. Cleveland apparently selected the house, which had been built in 1854 by Commodore Robert F. Stockton. Cleveland named it Westland in honor of a close friend and professor at Princeton University, Andrew F. West. The elegant stone antebellum mansion was perfect for
the active role the Cleveland family played in Princeton society. Although Cleveland never attended college himself, Princeton students frequently marched to the house to serenade him on his birthday or to celebrate victorious football games. Also known as the Grover Cleveland House, it was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1965. Tickets range from $150$ 50 0.

ergeant Darren Hill (Liam Matthews) was just days away from finishing up a tour of duty in Afghanistan when he died during an ambush of his unit. The shocking news devastated his wife, Amber (Lindsay Pulsipher), and their young daughter, Bree (Makenzie Moss). In fact, Amber was so embittered she stepped down as her church’s choir director, saying, “Look where my faith in God got us.” And pep talks from Pastor Williams (LaDainian Tomlinson) and her friends, Bridgette (Jordin Sparks) and Karena (Robin Givens), fail to bring her back into the fold. Two years later we find the grieving widow struggling to keep a roof over her head. Waitressing at the local diner simply doesn’t pay enough to keep the bank from threatening to foreclose on her house. When Amber is served with a notice to vacate the premises, she borrows $800 from a loan shark at a usurious rate, a short-term fix certain to come back to
bite her. It takes hitting rock bottom for her to rethink turning her back on God. Thus unfolds the opening act of God Bless the Broken Road, a faith-based drama directed and co-written by Harold Cronk (God’s Not Dead 1 and 2). Unfortunately, the cliche-ridden, modern morality play is less concerned with character development than with its heavy-handed message about the virtues of Christianity. Predictably, Amber’s fortunes do improve, but only after her faith in the Lord is restored. Meanwhile, the screen is filled with one-dimensional characters who bear no resemblance to real people. Fair (H). Rated PG-13 for action, peril, profanity, and bloody images. Rated PG for combat action and mature themes. Running time: 111 minutes.

After Getting Derailed by Rash of Injuries Last Fall, Tiger Football Has Depth in Place for Ivy Title Run
After routing Harvard 5217 last October in improving to 5-1, the Princeton University football team appeared to be on track for a run at a second straight Ivy League title. But derailed by an avalanche of injuries, the Tigers lost their last four games in slipping to seventh place in the league standings, finishing the season at 5-5 overall and 2-5 Ivy. While it hurt to not have the services of such stars as Kurt Holuba, Mark Fossati, and John Lovett, among many others, the flip side is that back-ups gained valuable experience last fall as they were pressed into action. With the return of Holuba, Fossati, and Lovett along with the battle-tested younger players, the Tigers appear to be a deeper squad this year. “When a guy is injured, I never look at that part as the blessing, but you do feel like there are more guys returning on defense that have seen action and have been successful,” said Princeton head coach Bob Surace, whose team plays at Butler (2-0) on September 15 as he starts his ninth year at the helm of the program. “Obviously we have to continue to build depth, that is a huge thing in camp because the lineup we put out
versus Butler is not going to be the same lineup we put out against Penn at the end of the year. The years we have been able to be successful with that, we have been celebrating at the end of the year. The years that we weren’t able to do that, it has been a tough road at the end.” The return of lineman Holuba and linebacker Fossati should make the Princeton defense much tougher this year. “Mark and Kurt are both very talented players,” said Surace, whose defense gave up 26.5 points and 407 yards a game in 2017. “Kurt has been a multiple All-Ivy type guy and almost won the Bushnell Cup as top defensive player a couple of years ago. Mark was playing at a level at linebacker that would have put him in that range.” The Tigers are also welcoming back Lovett, the 2016 Bushnell Cup winner as the league’s top offensive player when he accounted for 31 touchdowns passing, running and receiving, who was injured before the start of the 2017 campaign and was sidelined all fall. “To John’s credit, he has worked really hard to become a more accurate thrower; it is showing in camp,” said Surace, whose squad was picked to finish
the level of conditioning that they are at right now,” said Gleeson, who also welcomes back sophomore Collin Eaddy (376 yards rushing, two touchdowns) and junior Ryan Quigley (225 yards rushing, three touchdowns) in the backfield. “It is really apparent to all of the coaches what kind of shape they are in. We have had a great buy-in voluntarily from all of these guys to get jobs in and around the area to stay here and work out in the summer. Charlie would be amongst those guys.” While Surace, a former All-Ivy center during his playing days at Princeton, feared that the offensive line might be in bad shape with the loss of three starters in Erik Ramirez, Mitch Sweigart, and Richard Bush, he has been pleasantly surprised. “Those guys on our offensive line have had a tremendous offseason,” said Surace. “They are going up against some outstanding defensive linemen who have played a lot of football and they are doing well. Coach Andy Aurich does a great job with those guys. If they keep growing we have a chance to be really good there.” The Tigers boast two really good receivers in senior All-Ivy performers Stephen Carlson (71 receptions, 935 yards, 11 touchdowns) and Jesper Horsted (92 receptions, 1,226 yards, 14 touchdowns).
second behind defending champion Yale in the Ivy preseason media poll. “You want the ball in his hands, whether it is throwing, which will probably be the majority of time, but running it, catching it, and doing other things. When it makes sense, we will try to do those things.” Offensive coordinator Sean Gleeson likes his quarterback situation with the return of Lovett as the program deals with the voice left by the graduation of Chad Kanoff, who enjoyed a record-breaking campaign last fall on the way to winning the Bushnell Cup as the Ivy Offensive Player of the Year. “We have a ton of talent in the room,” said Gleeson. “In John’s case, since he wasn’t here in the spring and didn’t play last fall it is a matter of getting him up to speed mentally and physically. For the rest of the guys, the underclassmen, it is just continuing to develop in the offense and physically so they can be ready when called upon.” Gleeson believes that star running back Charlie Volker (600 yards rushing, 14 touchdowns in 2017) is ready to have a big senior year. “If there is one thing I can say about Charlie and the rest of the seniors, it is that I am extremely excited about

VOICE OF OPTIMISM: Princeton University football head coach Bob Surace makes a point during the program’s recently-held media day. Princeton is coming off a 5-5 campaign in 2017 as it was decimated by injuries and lost its final four games after starting 5-1. With some of the injured stars returning and other players having gained valuable experience last year in their stead, Surace believes the Tigers have the depth to be an Ivy League title contender this fall. Princeton opens its 2018 season underway when it plays at Butler University (2-0) on September 15. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) “They are big and they can run; they are particularly good at going up and getting the ball in the air, whether it is a vertical route or just fighting against a defensive back over the course of a game,” said Gleeson, whose receiving corps will also include junior Tiger Bech (40 receptions, 596 yards, two touchdowns) and senior Jordan Argue (14 receptions, 159 yards). “When you are a big body and you can go up and grab the ball, it is a nice asset to have; we saw that with Jesper and Steve last year.” Gleeson sees a potential secret weapon in senior tight end Graham Adomitis (20 receptions, 173 yards, two touchdowns). “Another senior that gets overlooked a lot and has played a lot of football for us is Graham Adomitis,” said Gleeson. “I expect him, with the gains he has made in the weight room and the way he is practicing early on, to emerge as a guy who we depend on.” On the other side of the ball, defensive coordinator and senior associate head coach Steve Verbit is depending on the return of Holuba and Fossati to impact the whole unit. “The game is about experience and knowledge,” said Verbit. “The more you know, the more you see things and the faster you are going to react. Kurt continues to get better and he may be at his best right now. Mark was having a fantastic season last year before he went down against Columbia. He has picked up exactly where he was at that time. We are going to be better stopping the run and we are going to be better getting to the quarterback with those two guys back.” One of Princeton’s better units appears to be the linebacker group, which features Fossati along with fel-
low senior co-captain Thomas Johnson, junior Johnny Orr, senior Jack Simcox and Johnson’s younger brother, sophomore James Johnson. “Those five guys, in particular, have all played a lot of football and they are all very good football players,” said Verbit. “We are five strong at those positions.” With the return of senior Ben Ellis and junior T.J. Floyd along with a pair of sophomore standouts in Delan Stallworth and C.J. Wall, the Tiger secondary is in good hands. “We got two experienced safeties in Ben and T.J.; they had very strong springs and are having very good camps,” said Verbit. “They are leaders; they get the guys lined up where they are supposed to be. They give them confidence because they will make the calls and make the checks. Young guys like C.J. and Delan had experience last fall and we are going to reap the rewards of that this season.” While Surace is confident that Princeton has the depth to enjoy a big season, he knows the Tigers face a tough road starting with their first two games as they play at Butler this Saturday and then host Monmouth (11) on September 22. “Our schedule is very demanding; Butler is typically a top-three team in their conference and Monmouth is as talented as any team we have had on our schedule,” asserted Surace, noting that most Princeton games this fall will be broadcast on the ESPN+ package. “They are returning a ton of players from a team that has a chance to go deep in the playoffs. If we take Butler lightly, we are going to come home on a long flight. If we take Monmouth lightly, it is going to be a long day at home.” —Bill Alden

Thriving in Trial By Fire last Fall for PU Football, Despite Controlling Play with 19-5 Edge in Shots, Johnson Emerges as Star Linebacker, Co-Captain Princeton Men’s Soccer Falls 1-0 to Monmouth Jim Barlow has seen a lot in his 23 seasons guiding the Princeton University men’s soccer program. But he never experienced anything quite like Princeton’s heartbreaking 1-0 loss to visiting Monmouth University last Saturday evening. “I don’t remember us ever outplaying a team as badly and losing as we did tonight,” said Princeton head coach Jim Barlow, noting that his team built a 19-5 edge in shots and 10-1 in corner kicks. “They had one shot on goal.”
P r i n c e to n o u t s h o t t h e Hawks 11-4 in the first half with a 4-0 edge in shots on goal as senior Sean McSherry sprinted to goal on several dangerous runs and sophomore Gaby Paniagua just missed on a couple of scoring opportunities. Despite that dominance, the local rivals were deadlocked in a 0-0 stalemate and Barlow knew that squandering the opportunities could come back to haunt his team. “You are always concerned when you don’t score in our
NO DOUBTING THOMAS: Princeton University football captains, from left, Thomas Johnson, John Lovett, Mark Fossati, and Kurt Holuba are all smiles as they posed together at the program’s media day. While Lovett, Fossati, and Holuba were all sidelined by injuries last fall, Johnson emerged as a defensive force, earning first-team All-Ivy League honors at inside linebacker after ranking third in the league with 95 tackles. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) Thomas Johnson faced a trial by fire last fall in his junior season for the Princeton University football team. First, Johnson was moved to a new spot on the field, getting switched to inside linebacker from the outside. “It was definitely tough, I had never played inside really a lot in my career and it is a little bit different coming from the outside,” said Johnson, a 6’0, 225-pound native of Moorestown, N.J. “I love the challenge of learning the new position; it is like relearning the game.” As the 2017 season unfolded and the Princeton defense was hit with a rash of injures as the Tigers lost their last four games after starting 5-1, Johnson was faced with the challenge of taking a lead role on the defense. “I wasn’t necessarily really experienced, but we had a lot of guys who weren’t experienced that had to step up,” said Johnson. “I think it was good for me to be in this spot; it made me try to learn fast, not that I wasn’t pressing the issue from the start.” Learning those lessons
well, Johnson earned firstteam All-Ivy League honors at inside linebacker after ranking third in the league with 95 tackles. His leadership ability was recognized as he was voted to serve as one of the captains of the 2018 team along with fellow seniors Kurt Holuba, Mark Fossati, and John Lovett. “It is such an honor, knowing the history of the spot, but at the end of the day, it doesn’t change my mentality a whole lot,” said Johnson, reflecting on being named captain. “I try to put my best out there everyday and I try to work harder than anyone else. There are so many guys that are pushing you every day.” One of the guys who is being led by Johnson is his younger brother, sophomore linebacker James Johnson. “We had the chance to play together a little bit in high school but because of injuries it was a little thrown off,” said Johnson. “Having him in the room and being able to see him work has been great. I am so proud of the way that he came in last year. You look at his freshman year and he

blew me out of the water. I am excited to see where he can take his time here.” With the Princeton defense having struggled down the stretch last season, ending up yielding 26.5 points and 407 yards a game, Johnson sees the unit tightening up this fall. “We have so much to work on. We know the challenges we faced last year but this is a new year and everyone is a little more experienced and a little hungrier and we are carrying that everyday,” said Johnson. “I think we are communicating well and we are practicing hard; those are the two things that are the most important for us right now.” Princeton defensive coordinator and senior associate head coach Steve Verbit sees Johnson as a very important piece for the Tigers. “Tommy is that energizer bunny; you just wind him up, you send him out on the football field and he is go, go, go,” said Verbit. “He is 100 mph all the time. He is a good leader and a good team player. His expectation for everybody else is to follow his lead, run to the ball and be the best you can be. He is fantastic to have as part of your defense.” For Johnson, working with Fossati, who is returning from injury, is going to be a huge plus. “My balance is always been huge for me,” said Johnson. “It is also recognition. The more time I spend in the inside, the faster I am seeing things. With Mark back next to me, it is great to be able to grow together again. I am grateful for the chance to be better and more comfortable and have a chance to play next to him again. It is a really good thing for me.” With Princeton preparing to face Butler (2-0) this Saturday in its season opener, Johnson and his teammates are looking to get better everyday. “We are focused on coming together and growing,” said Johnson. “We are focused on hammering out the details and being the best version of ourself. Hopefully that will sort itself out in our favor, but our focus right now is being the best team we can be.” —Bill Alden

game; it just takes one,” said Barlow. “The more that you start pressing the more you are opening yourselves up but I never got the feeling that we were opening ourselves up to counters. We weren’t giving away anything.” The Tigers kept pressing forward after intermission, outshooting Monmouth 8-1 in the second half but it was the Hawks who found the back of the net, tallying on a header with 6:44 left in regulation. “ We j u s t c o u l d n’t g e t our finishing on target; we couldn’t get the last pass quite right,” lamented Barlow, whose team dropped to 1-3 with the defeat. “The guys involved in the play that led to the goal didn’t do well.” In addition to being snakebitten around the net, Princeton couldn’t get a break from the officials. “A couple of calls didn’t go our way,” said Barlow. “He called a penalty kick for us in the first half and then changed his mind. He called back a goal we scored and said it was a dangerous play.” In controlling the ball, Princeton got some really good play from McSherry, Paniagua, freshman Moulay Hamza Kanzi Beighiti, and junior Bobby Hickson. “Sean was really good ; he should have had a couple of goals,” said Barlow. “Gaby had some good moments. Moulay had some good moments. The guys in the back won pretty much everything; Bobby did a good job coming forward.” In the final analysis, Princeton did everything but win. “They are hungry; I know they want it,” said Barlow. “Maybe we are pressing a little too hard. There is not much to say other than that we created more chances than we have in a long time. We had control of the game pretty much from start to finish and just wound up not getting it done.” Despite the bitterly disappointing outcome, Barlow believes his squad still has a chance to enjoy a big season. “They need to take from this that we can do some really good things,” said Barlow, whose team hosts Temple on September 12 and Boston University on September 15. “I think they know that already.” —Bill Alden

After Suffering Opening Day Loss to Hightstown, PHS Football Aiming to Be Sharper Going Forward
There was reason for optimism early on for the Princeton High football team as it hosted Hightstown last Saturday in the season opener for both teams. Taking the opening kickoff, PHS drove 34 yards into Hightstown territory before punting it to the Rams. Things went downhill, however, for the Little Tigers after that promising possession. Utilizing a strong ground game, the Rams marched down the field for a touchdown to take a 7-0 lead. Hightstown ran
through PHS for the rest of the half, building a 28-0 lead by intermission. The Rams never looked back from there, grinding out a 52-0 win, piling up 271 yards rushing in the rout. In reflecting on the rough afternoon, a subdued PHS head coach Charlie Gallagher was able to glean some positives. “A lot of guys made great individual efforts; we need to continue that,” said Gallagher. “I am excited about the football team.”

Gallagher was excited about the play of several players including sophomore Dylan Angelucci along with seniors Evan Angelucci, Tommy Tenzlinger, Connor Coffee, and Drew Staples. “I thought Dylan had a nice game; Evan had a real nice game as well,” said Gallagher. “Then you have some guys who are just going all of the time, like Tommy, Connor, and Drew; these guys are stalwarts, they are solid guys who are always there.” Junior Jay Jackson made some nice plays with his arm and feet in his debut as starting quarterback. “There is a lot of potential for Jay Jackson,” said Gallagher. “We haven’t even touched the tip of the iceberg yet with that young man but we will. He is going to get better.” PHS will need to be sharper with the ball to get better as it lost three fumbles on Saturday, including miscues on two consecutive possessions in the third quarter. “We have got to straighten that out,” said Gallagher, whose team also committed some costly penalties as it lost its 19th straight game and suffered its 22nd defeat in its last 23 games. “That is a big deal, turning the ball over.” As the Little Tigers get ready to play at Pemberton on September 15, Gallagher is confident his players can straighten things out. “It all starts with preparation; you have got to really prepare well,” said Gallagher. “We have a tough Pemberton team next week. We have done some scouting on them already and they are going to be challenging.” —Bill Alden

Hosting Hightstown last Saturday af ter noon, the Princeton Day School boys’ soccer team found itself in an uphill battle. Getting off to a sluggish start, PDS yielded a goal 15 minutes into the contest to fall behind 1-0. “We didn’t come out with the intensit y to star t; it wasn’t good enough,” said PDS head coach Ollie Hilliker. “Credit Hightstown, they worked very hard, they are a good physical team. They gave the effort that they had and they wanted it more than our boys.” Lifting its intensity level, the Panthers knotted the game at 1-1 as senior star Wesley Leggett buried a penalty kick than two minutes later. But Hightstown forged ahead 2-1 right before the half on a breakaway goal. At half t ime, Hilli ker’s message to his players was
straightforward. “We had to pick up the intensity,” said Hilliker. “I told them they have to play every minute like they want to win the game and not wait.” Responding to Hilliker’s encouragement, PDS displayed a sense of urgency over the last 40 minutes of the contest, generating a number of scoring chances down the stretch but couldn’t find the back of the net as the Rams held on for a 2-1 victory. “There two different parts of the game; early on, I was d is app oi nte d w it h mos t players and later on I was pleased with most players,” said Hilliker, whose team dropped to 1-1 with the setback. “If there are five or six more minutes to that game it is 2-2. It was too little, too late.” Hilliker has been pleased with University of Connecticut commit Leggett, noting that he was snakebitten in

the loss to the Rams. “He is a very dangerous player,” said Hilliker. “On another day, he scores four goals today with the opportunities he had. I think he is probably frustrated with himself and the opportunities that he had. You win some, you lose some, you move on.” Junior Nas Amer helped generate oppor tunities against Hightstow n w ith some brilliant free kicks. “Nas is a good player with good ability; he is good on the ball,” said Hilliker. “He has a great delivery of set pieces; he is very consistent. That is huge for the team.” PDS also got consistent play from sophomore Chima Chukumba, senior Coby Auslander, senior Connor McIntyre, and senior Ricardo Martinez. “Chima can be dangerous, he has some physical attributes in his game,” added Hilliker. “Coby [Auslander] and Connor [McIntyre] did really well in the back. I thought Ricardo [Martinez] did well in attacking midfield. It is not his typical position but he adapted and did the job he needs to get the ball up there.” Looking forward, Hilliker is looking for his players to show an attacking mentality from the opening whistle. “We have got to have intensity from the start and they have to come motivated to win every game,” said Hilliker, whose team hosts Springside Chestnut Hill (Pa.) on September 13. “Every game is going to be tough; they have got push themselves every game.” —Bill Alden
Sophomore Romano Showing Increased Confidence As PDS Girls’ Soccer Gets Off to Solid 1-0-1 Start Jules Romano feels calmer on the field this fall for the Princeton Day School girls’ soccer season, with one season under her belt. “Once I am on the ball, I am not as rushed as I was as a freshman,” said sophomore midfielder Romano. “I am more confident, I know my players.” Romano displayed that composure as PDS hosted the George School (Pa.) in its season opener last Friday, tallying a goal 1:47 into the contest. “I was just in the right place in the right time; it was off of a really nice throw in from Cailyn Jones,” recalled Romano. “I got a good flick in and it was just see the corner and shoot it.”
PDS kept shooting, scoring four goals in the second half on the way to a convincing 5-0 victory. “I felt like our energ y just picked up; we started to connect passes through the middle,” said Romano, in assessing the team’s late surge. “We calmed down, we played composed. We had really good possession in the second half.” While Romano’s main focus is energizing the PDS defense, she is looking to attack when there is an opening. “I am playing a little bit more of a defensive role but I try to get up a little more,” said Romano, who had an assist on Saturday as PDS battled to a 2-2 draw with

Princeton High through two overtimes. “I am more of a defensive center mid, but I get up when I can. It is what I want to do.” With the Panthers working a quartet of freshmen into their rotation, Romano wants to help get them up to speed. “Once we take them under our belt and get them going, they will definitely be impact players,” said Romano. PDS head coach Pat Trombetta liked the way his team got things going against George. “It was a nice start; we s core d i n t he f ir s t t wo minutes of each half,” said Trombetta. “We said in the second half if we can get on the board in the first 10 minutes, this thing should roll from there.” In the second half, the Panthers got rolling as they turned the contest into a rout. “The possession was good all over the field,” said Trombetta, who got goals from sophomore Kelly Beal, freshman Ava Mattson, senior Ariana Jones, and senior Kelsey Lane. “I thought our energy was good and we were winning the 50/50 balls. I think those were the deciding factors controlling the tempo throughout.” Trombetta likes how Romano has been controlling things in the midfield. “If I look at our midfield, she is probably the most consistent and versat ile player that we have on a team,” said Trombetta. “She can play different positions. Last year we used her all over the field. This year she has found a home in the middle for us and she has done some good things for us inside.” Sophomore Beal has been doing nice things up front. “Kelly’s energy was good; she was all over the field,” said Trombetta. “We can use her on the outside, we can use her up top so we have different options on how to use her on the field.” All in all, it was a very good opening day for the Panthers. “If you look in the past, we have struggled getting out of the gate,” said Trombetta, whose team was slated to host Morristown High on September 11 before playing at Hun on September 13 and at Moorestown Friends on September 14. “We were happy all the way around today, it was great.” In Romano’s view, PDS shou ld draw conf idence LASER THER from the great effort. “Getting your first win on the T B A with C K T O all T H EofA Cthe TIVITIES homeG Eturf support just boosts up your morale,” said Romano.

With Mullen Leading the Way from Midfield, Stuart Field Hockey Rolls to 5-0 Win in Opener Caroline Mullen and her teammates on the Stuart Country Day School field hockey team were determined to start the season on a high note as they hosted Burlington City High last Wednesday in their opener. “I think we wanted to come out with a lot of intensity,” said junior midfielder and co-captain Mullen. “That was our goal, since it was our opening game and it was at home, we really wanted to win.” The Tartans didn’t waste any time displaying that intensity, controlling possession from the opening whistle, tallying two goals in the first four minutes on the way to a 5-0 win. “We were really working on our passes and making sure we are finding each other and communicating throughout the game,” said Mullen, who had two assists in the victory. “Even towards the end, our passes were just getting stronger.” In reflecting on her role, Mullen is looking to be a playmaker while picking her spots for shots. “We have strong forwards and a strong freshman class that came in so it is hanging out at the top of the circle, trying to get some shots off here and there and looking to find the forward players,”
said Mullen. “They have a lot of speed and they are really dedicated players too; I think that has been a change from last year to this year. We have forwards we can rely on and we have a really strong midfield.” Mullen is looking to be someone the freshmen can rely on in the midfield unit. “It is two other freshmen, Kaitlyn [Magnani] and Anna [Gill], and me in the midfield,” added Mullen. “I am trying to be a leader with the midfield, working on how we use each other.” Mullen has worked hard to make better use of her skills. “I played a lot during the summer; I joined a club team,” said Mullen. “We have a few other club players on the team so that is an improvement on last year.” Stuart head coach Missy Bruvik likes the improvement she has seen from Mullen as a player and a leader. “Caroline sees the field; she is the playmaker and she sets everybody up,” said Bruvik. “Priscilla [Francois], Breasia [Williams], and her have been nominated as captains. I am excited for her as a player that her teammates recognize not only that she is skilled, but she is able to

direct all over the field. She has all that knowledge coming into her junior year.” Against Burlington City, Stuart was all over the field, dominating play as it built a 4-0 lead by halftime. “ We c a m e o u t q u i c k , which was good,” said Bruvik. “We put a lot of pressure on the goalie right away. It was good to finish early. I thought their goalie did a good job in that first half. We were getting the shots off and we were getting our shots off on our corners as well, trying to execute them.” S op h o m or e C at h e r i n e Martin executed well in the circle, scoring two goals in the win. “She was ver y timely. Catherine has found a way to get her body in the right place at the right time,” said Bruvik, who also got goals from Gill, freshman Molly Shore, and senior Emma Shaw in the win. “When she is low on the ball, she is strong on the ball. She has quick stick.” Senior star Francois prov ided some strong play, adding a beautiful assist on Martin’s second goal to augment her good work along the back line “Priscilla has a whole new role because she played on the forward line last year and we have got her controlling the center backfield this year,” said Bruvik. “She is one who said I will do whatever you need me to do. It was let’s just try here her in the back with her speed and her first and second step. It is about carrying about the ball out of the back.” I n B r u v i k ’s v i e w, h e r team’s performance in the opener was a very good first step. “We are still rotating a lot of kids through, looking for combinations,” said Bruvik, whose team was slated to host Pennington on September 11 before playing at Princeton Day School on September 13 and at the George School (Pa.) on September 17. “This is the perfect time for that because what we do now hopefully pays off down the road.” M u l l e n , for h e r p a r t, knows that the Tartans face a rough road as they take on rivals Pennington and PDS. “We are going to try to focus more on the little things and refining our skills so we will be ready for them,” said Mullen. “We didn’t get much of a test on the defense this game so we need to be working on that in practice to make sure that we are ready because that are going to come in with big shots.” —Bill Alden

But as her squad had returned to the field for preseason practices this summer, Kathy Quirk is seeing a togetherness that bodes well for the 2018 campaign. “It has been one of the best preseasons we have had.

back junior Abby Zucatti and working in some new faces in freshman Ashley Jones along w ith junior Emma Caforio and sophomore Kayla Hampton, who are both coming up from the JV team. Hun features three key seniors along the back line in Meghan Donahue and the Nehlig twins, Kendall and Letson. “We have the two Nehlig girls on defense, it is a good partnership with Megan Donahue,” said Quirk, who will also be using senior Emily Ward, junior Chessie Ross and junior Emily Albanese, a converted goalie, on defense. “I am very happy with them.” Quirk is very happy to have battle-tested senior MC Shea returning at goalie. “We have MC in the cage; we s cr i m m age d aga i n s t South Hunterdon and she did a really nice job in the cage,” said Quirk. “This is her third year as a starter.” With the Raiders starting the 2018 season by playing at Springside Chestnut Hill Academy (Pa.) on September 12, Quirk knows her squad has to be sharp at both ends of the field to be competitive. “We have got to put the ball in the cage; Meghan Donahue and Kendall Nehlig have been pulling up on short corners and if they can connect, they could be like Julie Fassl before,” said Quirk, referring to the team’s top scorer in 2016 who is now playing for Virginia Wesleyan. “We need to play strong defense. We are normally known to give up quite a few short corners, but in our scrimmage against South Hunterdon we did a nice job of keeping the ball away from our feet and getting it out of the circle.” —Bill Alden
Determining the proper species for the proposed planting area is critical to saving time and money and avoiding future disappointments. As with any worthwhile investment, it is essential to take time to investigate and select wisely. Choosing a site to plant a tree, or choosing the proper tree for a given site, is a decision not to be taken lightly. Here are some basic guidelines to help make that decision. Of course, our arborists can walk through the steps with you to ensure your investment reaps optimum future return. Plant and Site Factors for Consideration Hardiness: Make sure the tree is adapted to the temperature extremes of our geographic region. Light exposure: Note how many hours of direct sunlight the planting site receives. Space constraints: Allow adequate room as the plant matures both above and below ground. Form and function: Consider species attributes, i.e. evergreens vs. deciduous foliage, shade tree vs. ornamental qualities. Soil characteristics: Select species suited for the soil types present at the site. Pest problems: Choose insect and disease resistant varieties, if available. Drainage: Match species tolerant to the moisture and drainage conditions of the soil. For a tree and site evaluation of your property, call WOODWINDS at (609) 924-3500 or email treecare@woodwinds.biz

Lloyd Harrell. Sisters/friends since childhood Ann King and Arden Pollard shared and truly enriched her life. And her dear godchildren Andrea Briscoe and Walter Harris Taylor, and greatgodchildren Laura-Sage Marshall and Cameron Broadway, who called her Grand Lucy, truly warmed her heart with love. All of her Princeton, Hampton, Tucson, and foreign service friends, too many to name, kept her company, traveled and worked with her, and made her life better in so many ways. She always remembered the precious friends and relatives who preceded her in death, and was grateful for their contributions to her happiness and success. As with all of us, to God goes the glory. She always said God had chosen, protected, and forgiven her not only for her sins, but also for bad decisions and wrongful deeds. Each morning she began the day with a simple “Thank you, Lord.” And although Her wonderful life has ended, we too say, “Thank you, Lord.” Funeral Service will be held on Saturday, September 15, 2018, 11 a.m. at First Baptist Church of Princeton, John Street and Paul Robeson Place, Princeton. Visitation will from 9 to 11 a.m. prior to the Funeral Service on Saturday. Interment at Princeton Cemetery, Princeton. Services entrusted to Ledford Funeral Home, 929 S. Clinton Avenue, Trenton.
